Sean “Diddy” Combs has apologised for attacking his ex-girlfriend Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura after CCTV footage showed him kicking and pushing her in a hotel hallway in 2016.

The footage released by CNN showed a man the broadcaster identified as Mr Combs pushing Ms Ventura to the floor at the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles, and kicking her while she is on the ground. He later attempts to drag her by her shirt and throw an object at her.

The pair had started a relationship after meeting when she was 19 and he was 37.

Speaking in a video posted to his Instagram page, the rapper said he took full responsibility for his “inexcusable” actions in the clip, aired by CNN earlier this week.

The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office had said the alleged assault captured in the video might be too old to prosecute.
